1648, India. At morning's first light, the Taj Mahal, an awe-inspiring edifice representing the pinnacle of beauty and the power of an empire, will be unveiled. For the two Imperial guards who are protecting the palace, close friends since childhood, dawn's first light will set in motion a ghoulishly unthinkable task that will challenge their faith, friendship and duty. Rajiv Joseph's dark comedy incisively examines two average men who get swept up in the beauty, carnage and zealotry surrounding one of the legendary wonders of the world. Catch Guards at the Taj at Cambridge's Central Square Theater.
